Music Man

Somebody has started a Facebook campaign to have John Cage's composition called 4'33'' installed as Christmas No 1.  The joke (at least that's what I assume it is) for those who are not conversant with the piece, is that it consists of four minutes, thirty-three seconds of silence.  I think it was Stravinsky who said "I look forward to hearing his longer works"
